18. Scratch. I am lucky enough to live within 3-4 miles of an Asian supermarket.

I keep stocked up on all kinds of noodles, sriracha, condiments, spices, rice, sesame seed, fresh vegetables like long beans or fingerling bok choy, and canned specialties that look interesting on the outside. I did not make the rice noodles at home.

10. good for you

12. It's been raining hard, but that's good as it is badly needed.

But we are now (thankfully) on a mooring, so the winds and seas aren't such a bother.

I suspect we will have lots of fun. There is some live music in town and I am up for it.

When we came around yesterday, we were in the middle of a dolphin stampede for about an hour. I have never, ever seen such a large group and they just wanted to be near us. It was magical. Once whatshisname edits his video and puts it up on youtube, I am going to post it here.
